Erasing left EPS electric power steering codes (Honda Fit 1)

Note:

If during or immediately after deleting codes (when the "SGS" output is shorted to ground) the engine is started, the system will go into code reading mode.

Codes stored in the EEPROM memory cannot be erased by disconnecting the battery.

1. Make sure the steering wheel position is correct for straight ahead driving.

2. Short the "SCS" terminal to ground. To do this, connect the tester to the "DLC" diagnostic connector or connect the "DLG" diagnostic connector to a special device, and short the "4" and "9" terminals of the special device with a wire.

3. Turn the steering wheel to the left by 45° relative to the straight-ahead position.

4. Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position (the EPS indicator should come on for 4 seconds and go out).

5. After the indicator goes out, turn the steering wheel to the straight ahead position (after 4 seconds the indicator will light for 4 seconds and then go out).

6. When the indicator lights up, turn the steering wheel 45° to the left again.

7. After the indicator goes out, return the wheel to the straight ahead position and check that after 4 seconds the indicator lights up twice for 0.3 seconds (at 0.3 second intervals) and goes out.

Note: if the indicator does not light twice, the code erasing procedure has been unsuccessful. In this case, turn the ignition OFF and repeat the procedure, starting from step "3".

8. After the indicator goes out, disconnect the "SGS" terminal from ground.

9. Turn the ignition "OFF".

10. Read the fault codes and make sure that the normal code is displayed. Disconnect the "SGS" terminal from ground.

Note:

If erasing codes is unsuccessful and the "SGS" terminal is shorted to ground, the indicator will remain on until the engine is started or the "SGS" terminal is disconnected from ground.
